In EL2 we have been working on our 5 Ways to Wellbeing.
Have a look at the sheet to see the activities we have done in school that we can practise at home.
This week can we help sort out and clean the kitchen cupboards? This is part of our functional skills, sorting, cleaning, comparing sizes, health and safety etc.
Whilst the items are out of the cupboard we can look at the food labels. We have been doing this is school. We can decide which foods are a treat (red), which foods we can eat most the time (amber) and which foods we can enjoy freely (green). This is great for all the family.
